    Any advice appreciated.

    Agreed, and actually I think hes got a pretty good start. More than what a lot of people (myslef included) started with. I would either get another body or get to work on it before I worried to much about anything else. I think it can be turned into a useable part with the proper amount of motivation.

    those cross members look a little wide and i think that motor mount will get in the way;) roughly thats what my current build started like

    the first pic is what i started with and the last two are where i'm setting now. the next one wont be any thing like this one but its been fun

    that was'nt directed at you The Law. it was a general statement about the "rough" mock up. At least he dreams big.

    lol got it ;)
     
  18. Got the raw material. Get a radiator before you build that frame, trust me on that one. A model A axle, something out back, and a F1 steering box, and you're on your way.

    Thanks for the post Richard. I remember seeing your truck buildup a few years ago.
     
  20. Yeah, it has stalled a bit, but it hasn't been that long.

    dude you should not snap like that when you are still wet behind the ears. To build a car from the start you got is a lot of ****ing work!! It seems easy enough that it only needs this and that and **** a car is born. Its cool that you got **** for free and have a goal but there aint enough checks in the book to be done. You will see "Big Dreams" gr*** hopper. and some day there will be a light and the end of the tunnel. good luck with it.
     
  22. Chill dude, lucky Germ is no longer here..... or went to therapy?
    Thai is rough but good start. Keep going mate and above all enjoy it!
    Doc.
